Dear fraud victim,

This is to inform you that four of the fraud syndicate that defrauded you has been caught and six escaped. These men and women used fake identities and documents to scam innocent victims. They confessed that they use tricks of fictitious Contract, Inheritance, Lottery and all other manner of enticing tricks to lure and defraud their victims. They were caught in attempt to defraud one Briton. During their prosecution, they made a plea bargain on the following in order to get a lower jail term:

1. To name their victims for reparation payment to them.
2. To reveal and forfeit all their ill-gotten wealth.
3. To identify and reveal the hidden wealth of their six absconded partners

The chief prosecutor agreed with their request and granted them Eight years each instead of Twelve years. The court agreed to their plea so that the court could pay their victims reparations from the loot recovered from them. The court recovered expensive cars, jewelries, houses, stocks and shares including some cash deposits in their bank accounts.

The court sold all the properties confiscated from them to realize money for reparation payment to their numerous victims. The four are currently serving Eight years jail term each. I am contacting you based on the confessional testimony of the fraudsters that you were among their victims. To this effect, if you have lost money to fraudsters in the past, please do let me know how much you lost, your contact phone number and address so that we can work out your refund modalities from the recovered sums.

Please do not be deceived by the bogus claims of money in Nigeria or Africa as a whole because Africa is a very poor continent with greater percentage of its population living in abject poverty. Please spread this news to your friends and relative that there is no such bogus money in Africa as claimed by fraudsters so that more innocent people won‘t fall victim of fraud especially in this time of economic recession.

If you are not the person they defrauded please disregard this mail as it was sent to you based on confessional testimony and information provided by the jailed fraudsters. I am aware that the six escaped fraudsters may still be communicating you from clandestine locations. Please if you receive any communication from them, don’t reply from henceforth. If you need further clarifications, call me directly on +2348074037620 for clarifications.
